Floor joint sealing for homes and businesses in Greenford
In kitchens and bathrooms, the joint where the floor meets a bath panel, plinth or skirting takes mop water every day. A flexible silicone seal keeps it out and stops dirt collecting. We work on tiled floors, skirting boards and commercial floors, and people most often call us about skirting caulk that keeps splitting and failed seals where bathroom floors meet baths and panels.
London homes range from new-build flats to period conversions with new floors laid over old boards. Every joint between floor, skirting and threshold has to cope with some movement.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Greenford and everywhere else we cover.

How we quote for floor joint sealing
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The type of sealant required
- Whether the work is at height
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Where the property is
- If someone has resealed it before
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
There’s no standard price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
What happens on the day
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes a morning or an afternoon for most homes. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. If the building has a concierge, managing agent or access rules, tell us when you book.

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Vacuum floor joints regularly to stop grit building up
- Keep floor cleaning water to a minimum at the edges
- Do not slide heavy items over sealed joints
- Do not paint over silicone
Mop with a well-wrung mop rather than flooding the floor. Less water at the edges helps the joints last.
A tiled floor that cracks along a line will keep cracking until it can move. A flexible joint added early helps protect the tiles themselves.

In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.

What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few photos.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Normally, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we agree the colour with you before we start.
How long before the joint can take traffic?
We will tell you before we leave. That depends on the product, and light foot traffic is usually fine before wet cleaning or wheels.
How long does floor joint sealing take?
Typically it takes a few hours for most rooms, longer for large commercial floors. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
Why does the gap under my skirting keep coming back?
Floors shrink and settle, especially in the first year or two and through the heating season opens the gap. Caulk tends to crack; a flexible sealant doesn’t.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
How the job changes by surface
Wet room and bathroom floors
Bathroom floors meet baths, trays, panels and skirting. We seal them with anti-fungal sanitary silicone to keep water out of the edges.
Commercial floors
Shops, offices, warehouses and units all have floor joints that need sealing. We talk through the traffic and choose a sealant suited to it.
DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.

What we are called out for in Greenford
When a tiled floor has no movement joints, the grout takes the strain. Cracks often run straight along a line of joints, where a flexible joint should have been.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Open joints around bathroom floor edges
- Open joints that fill with dirt
- Caulk that has cracked where the floor moves
- Concrete floor joints that have broken down
If you let a flat or house near Greenford station, gaps at skirtings and thresholds are worth sealing between tenancies.

New homes and floors in Greenford
Much of London’s new housing is flats in larger developments, where snags may need reporting through the developer or the managing agent. Floors around Greater London run from suspended timber in older homes to concrete in newer houses and units, and they do not all move the same way. That is why the skirting and threshold joints need a flexible seal.
Managing a site like Oldfield Primary School? Then floor joints in corridors, halls and entrances take heavy wear and need resealing before the edges break up. Community buildings like Parish Church of the Holy Cross (old Church) are part of the picture too: joints in its floors, skirtings and thresholds need resealing as they wear.
